I think it would be cool if you can add a mental lockbox module.
Would be nice to visit my mental lockbox during the start your day process.

Re: my last paragraph: Of course, the right-click and Move to Mental Lockbox with reminder option is already there on every screen but it's somewhat hidden and not a visible part of Start My Day.
An extra "Deliberate, with Reminder" button on the Do It, Deliberate It, Dump It screen might provide a better workflow and avoid the need for a MLB Start My Day module.
I posted a new request for this here: https://simpleology.uservoice.com/forums/106391-simpleology/suggestions/3006674-add-deliberate-with-reminder-button-to-the-do-

I think the option would be good. I have quite a lot of MLB targets and don't always remember to set reminder dates (ironically!).
Also, I will send a few targets to MLB during Start My Day with the intention that to do them tomorrow. To go to the MLB just to set a reminder date seems like too much work.
Then I won't necessarily remember if a target is already in MLB when I begin Start My Day so I will have to go check MLB anyway to make sure I haven't already put it there or end up with the same target input twice.
This module step would also be a good time to remind us to set all our unset reminders.
At least an optional MLB module would be optional so if it becomes a time suck we could opt out. In this case, personally, I feel letting the users decide what works best for them is better though I do appreciate why it's not a recommended approach to check the MLB every day but as I brain dump a lot of stuff and rarely decide to do them all in a day the MLB appears to be a place where targets get forgotten completely rather than a temporary "out of mind" place unless I remember to go there (which I don't always). To incorporate it as an optional module into Start My Day would only help my efficiency because I wouldn't have to remember to check it - it's the "not having to remember things" aspect of the MLB that I find most helpful but unless I am reminded somehow it ends up one thing I have to remember to do (but don't).
An alternative could be a "send to MLB with reminder date" button during Start My Day, as well as the plain "send to MLB". I feel this solution might be the best of both worlds. :-)
